Values

‘If contact between people is based on trust and absolute integrity, it cannot fail to benefit both sides.’ Julius Baer – Swiss Banker

Mallorca is an island with very few natural resources. What the island does have has to be protected and preserved. Many of the materials used in building are either imported, at additional financial and ecological cost, or manufactured, which is again ecologically costly through the processing involved. Where possible, we aim to utilise local materials that have limited manufacturing and processing, financial and environmental costs.

Buildings should aim to cause the minimum possible harm to the environment and users – throughout their design, construction, use, upkeep and eventual end of life recycling.

We believe in authenticity throughout our dealings with stakeholders and shareholders alike.
